Amon-Ra St. Brown Isn’t Sweating the Lions’ New Coaches — and You Shouldn’t Be Either
The Detroit Lions are turning the page with a fresh coaching crew — and while some fans are chewing their nails about it, Amon-Ra St. Brown is here to calm the storm.
With Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn landing head coaching gigs in Chicago and New York, Detroit had to make some big moves. In step John Morton (now running the offense) and Kelvin Sheppard (calling the shots on defense). Naturally, people are wondering — can these guys really keep the Lions on top?
Let’s be real: Johnson and Glenn were major players in Detroit’s transformation from NFC North basement dwellers to legit playoff contenders. Johnson’s offense was one of the most creative in the league, and Glenn’s defense finally gave the Lions some bite. So yeah, shoes to fill? Try boots the size of Ford Field.
But Amon-Ra? He’s not even blinking.
“Don’t act like we’re bringing in a scrub,” he told Yahoo Sports. “These coaches know ball.”
Morton’s no newbie — he was the Broncos’ passing game coordinator last season and worked under Johnson before that. Sheppard? He’s been coaching up Detroit’s linebackers for four years and played in the NFL himself. These guys didn’t just fall off the coaching tree — they climbed it.
Sure, some skepticism makes sense. It’s not that people doubt Morton or Sheppard personally — it’s just that Johnson and Glenn were that good. But the Lions’ roster is still loaded, especially on offense. If the new coordinators can keep the vibe going and put their own twist on things? Watch out.
Bottom line: Detroit’s not hitting the reset button. They’re reloading — and the team’s stars are already buying in.
